The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy is committed to helping the dairy industry provide real, simple nutrient-rich foods and beverages to meet consumers’ health and wellness needs.

Dairy’s inherent nutrient package provides a unique opportunity to help consumers achieve more nutrition per calorie with foods they enjoy. From yogurt to cheese, dairy provides options for consumers to meet their healthy eating needs.

Did you know that most cheeses are a good to excellent source of protein? The Health and Wellness Committee spearheaded an industry best practices task force to address cheese, sodium and healthy eating, and it created new educational resources for general audiences, health professionals and thought leaders to explain how cheese can be part of a healthy eating plan.
